NLD defeat: more worry for long term confidence than the result itself

That was properly poor yesterday. As in "things aren't all as rosy as perhaps we thought" kind of poor. We've got injuries. We've got players out. We've got a few problems and we're by no means the finished article. But that performance didn't really warrant a North London Derby and those Tiny Totts played a [...]

Less pressure from an NLD?

Morning fellow absorbers of Arsenal-related information. I hope you are well and enjoying the countdown to Christmas. As always it's about excesses for us in the western world; from food to beverages and everything in between, but it's also about the excess of football and once again we find ourselves gorging on that with another [...]

Go big names tomorrow Arsène

Yesterday Arsène spoke to the assembled media to give a bit of an update on the team news and I suppose the good stuff is that nobody has been maimed enough to be sitting out that we didn’t already know about. Mustafi and Welbeck look to be back, Giroud is our, whilst the sword of [...]

Interlull nothingness or NLD fear?

Ahh man, this feels like it’s a real dragger of an Interlull, and not just because there’s little going around by the way of Arsenal news. I tune out the transfer tittle-tattle when there’s still six weeks to go until the January window opens, and when it’s a window that doesn’t usually see big clubs [...]

Derby day: form players need to show up

I know I may be jinxing us all into a horrible afternoon and subsequent evening, should defeat befall The Arsenal this lunchtime, but having looked at the probable line ups today through a couple of sources, this is a Totteringham team that we really should be beating. We should have already served them up a [...]

My favourite NLD and the lucky charm

By |2017-05-19T21:35:27+01:00February 5th, 2015|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, gooners, Gunners, History, premier league|0 Comments

There's some stuff on the official site from David Ospina naming a host of 'keepers, but with a distinctly absent amount of NLD referencing to the piece, I'm disinclined to talk about good goalkeepers over the last thirty or so years. Francis Coquelin (who seems to be wheeled out more and more on the official [...]
